Market News

Welcome to the first week of May. Mother’s Day is next Sunday. You can find many products from the Market as gifts for that special person.

The availability of produce is slowly increasing. Warmer temperatures this week will definitely assist that.

Reappearing this week are strawberries from Rainbow Hill Farm.

Flying S Farms added a new jam this week. It is a blueberry and strawberry flavor.

Chef Aaron with The Blue Porch is competing in todays Martha O’Bryan Community Food Bank Throwdown today at 4 pm. We wish him well.

Last night, Wedge Oak Farm hosted Pete Evans and the Moveable Feast. You can see some pictures from the event at their Facebook Page. Will we see them on PBS in the near future?

Notes from our vendors this week:

From Linda with Dogwood Valley Greenhouse

As promised, we have listed our beautiful planters, baskets, and windowsill herb gardens for Mother’s Day, which will be this coming Sunday! We also still have lots of tomato plants and a few bell peppers left. These plants in gallon pots are large and strong and ready to set into your garden. We also have several new perennial friends flowering this week, notably astilbe, beard-tongue, pincushion flower, yarrows, gauras, and lavenders. The many types of ferns and herbs are all looking really nice. Another great gift idea for Mother’s Day is a gift certificate from Dogwood Valley Greenhouse, available in any denomination on the market.

Blessings,
Linda Reed

From Sean with Nuance Coffee & Tea:

Nuance Coffee & Tea has added four new coffees to our offerings this week. A Brazilian Sul De Minas, Sumatra Mandheling, Mexican Chiapas, and an Ethiopian Yirgacheffe. They will be roasted on our new Artisan 6M, fluid bed, air roaster! Don’t forget that we have Bodum brand, 70th Anniversary Edition, French Press and Assam teapot sets. Just go to the “Coffee and Tea” category and then click on “Brewing Accessories” to order these great new items. They make great gifts for Mother’s Day and Father’s day! Enjoy!

There are plenty of other products available this week. Browse the categories to see what your will find.

Thanks so much for your support of Stones River Market, all of our growers, local food, and our rights to eat it. We’ll see you on Wednesday at Southern Stained Glass at 310 West Main Street from 5:00 to 6: 30 pm!
